New wheels on my DGP. What do u think?

new wheels went from 20" black rims with chrome lip to these 18" privat rennstadt.

definetly like the feel of the ride better with these 18" tires just not sure if i like the look of the rims.

might swith to Rota G-force gunmetal 18x9 for the concave look

what ya'll think?







this was my old rims

I LOVE the way your TL looks!!!, But I have to say that the 20s look a lot better than the 18s!! Sorry!! I understand that the ride is probably 50X better....but the look with black 20s is just CRAZY!! I'm actually gonna slap some black 20s on my NBP Type-S. Maybe im biased though??

rims look a bit beefy (spokes) and the rim looks to small on the TL. IMO if that was in 20 or 19 i'd look better. In all honesty, something like the mesh design of the Ron Jon Legends or some Privat Net's would look a lot better, but I'm liking those tailights Nice clean car!

yeah i was thinking they look to small especially with the lip it makes it look smaller.




im thinking of switching to these Rota G-Force 18x9 which makes it even more beefy and concave like this fellow acurazine member

Which rotas did you get? i hope you got the cool +38 offset so they are concave. I'm gettimg Rota Torques 18x9.5 +38 offset. A member has Black 3rd gen with 18x9.5 +38 grids on his lowered car. Looks sick and flush.

Wow nice choice! how much were the Rotas, I saw them at a local shop today when I was picking up my Tein S-Tech Springs. I stared at them for a good 2 minutes or so.

Great looking TL. The new 18's look really good. But then I saw your car with the 20 inch wheels and thought WOW SWEET. If ride quality is what you want the 18 inch wheels do look really good. Nice design. I personally think 19 inch wheels are perfect for the third gen TL.
